Abstract

Disclosed is a single phase liquid composition comprising 0.5 to 30 wt % of a benzotrifluoride solvent, about 0.5 to about 50 wt % of a glycol ether cosolvent, up to about 50 wt % of an alkanol, up to about 10 wt % of a surfactant, and the remainder water. The composition is effective in cleaning hard surfaces, stripping paint, and as a carrier.

Description

This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 08/339,519, filed Nov. 14, 1994, now abandoned.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a single phase liquid composition which contains both organic components and water. In particular, the composition contains a chlorinated benzotrifluoride solvent, a glycol ether cosolvent, water, and an optional alkanol and an optional surfactant.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,835,070 describes a hard surface cleaner that contains methylene chloride, a monoalkyl ether of ethylene glycol, an alcohol, an inorganic builder, an anionic surfactant, and water. Compositions such as the composition of that patent, which employ methylene chloride as the principal organic solvent, are highly effective in removing grease, oil, and other organic soils from surfaces. However, methylene chloride is classified as a possible carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer and it is also listed as a hazardous air pollutant under the Clean Air Act. Safe and effective alternatives to methylene chloride-based cleaning compositions have not, until now, been found.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
We have discovered a water-containing composition based on a chlorinated benzotrifluoride, such as parachlorobenzotrifluoride (PCBTF) or 3,4-dichlorobenzotrifluoride (DCBTF), that is a single phase liquid. Unlike methylene chloride, PCBTF and DCBTF have not been listed as hazardous under the Clean Air Act and the Superfund Amendment and Reauthorization Act (SARA), Title III (Section 313). The composition of this invention is effective in cleaning, and has been found to be stable at room temperature for at least several months. While PCBTF and DCBTF are less miscible in water than is methylene chloride, we have found that single phase compositions can be prepared by including in the composition a glycol ether cosolvent. We have further found that the range of single phase miscibility is extended by inclusion within the composition of an alkanol from C1 to C3. Also, most of the compositions within the scope of this invention are non-flammable under ASTM test method D3065-72.
The single phase mixture of this invention is not only useful in cleaning hard surfaces, but we have unexpectedly discovered that it is also effective as a paint stripper, both on latex based and enamel paints.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIGS. 1 to 10 are miscibility phase diagrams further explained in Example 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The liquid compositions of this invention are single phase mixtures, not emulsions. The single phase of the compositions falls within the range of about 0.5 to about 30 wt % solvent, about 0.5 to about 50 wt % cosolvent, 0 to about 50 wt % alkanol, 0 to about 10 wt % surfactant, and the remainder water.
For use as an industrial hard surface cleaner the composition preferably isabout 5 to about 20 wt % solvent, about 10 to about 30 wt % cosolvent, about 2 to about 20 wt % alkanol, about 0.5 to about 5 wt % surfactant, and the balance water. For a consumer or household cleaner the compositionis preferably about 2 to about 10 wt % solvent, about 5 to about 30 wt % cosolvent, about 2 to about 20 wt % alkanol, about 0.5 to about 10 wt % surfactant, and the balance water. Also, compositions containing less than10 wt % alkanol have a flashpoint less than the alkanol.
The solvent has the general formula ##STR1##where "n" is 1 or 2 and is preferably 1. Examples included ortho, meta, andparachlorobenzotrifluoride and 2,3-, 3,4-, 2,5-, and 2,6-dichlorobenzotrifluoride. PCBTF, DCBTF, or a mixture thereof is preferred as those solvents are commercially available and they are both about equally effective, but PCBTF is especially preferred as it is less expensive. The amount of solvent is preferably about 5 to about 20 wt % asif less solvent is used the mixture is less effective in cleaning, and it is difficult to form a single phase mixture if more solvent is present.
The cosolvent is a glycol ether having the formula
R.sub.1  O--R.sub.2 !.sub.m --OH
where R1 and R2 are each independently selected from alkyl from C1 to C6 and "m" is 1 or 2. In the formula, R1 is preferably C1 to C4 and R2 is preferably C1 to C5as those ether alcohols are more readily available. Examples of presently preferred glycol ether cosolvents include ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (EB), diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether(PM), ethylene glycol ethyl ether, propylene glycol ethyl ether, and 3-methoxy-3-methyl-1-butanol (MMB) because those cosolvents are commercially available. If too much cosolvent is used the mixture loses cleaning power and if too little is used the mixture may not be miscible. Preferably, about 10 to about 30 wt % cosolvent is used.
The composition can optionally contain an alkanol from C1, to C3.An alkanol is preferably present in the mixture because it increases the miscibilty of the solvent with the water. Preferably, about 2 to about 20 wt % of an alkanol is present. If too much alkanol is present the cleaningpower of the mixture may be reduced and the flammability increased.
Examples of alkanols that can be used include methanol, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol (IPA). Higher alkanols, such as butanol, do not seem to beeffective. The preferred alkanols are ethanol and isopropanol and isopropanol is particularly preferred as it is not subject to the controlsthat ethanol is.
Another optional ingredient that can be present if desired is a surfactant.While a surfactant may not increase the range of miscibility, it is useful in solubilizing oils and greases. A preferred amount of surfactant is about 0.5 to about 5 wt %. The surfactant may be cationic, anionic, or non- ionic, but anionic surfactants are preferred as they seem to be more effective in detergent-type compositions. Examples of suitable surfactantsinclude modified alkanolamides, ammonium salts of sulfonated alcohol ethoxylates, triethyl amine linear alkylate sulfonates, and ethoxylated primary alcohols. Examples of preferred anionic surfactants include compounds having the formulas ##STR2##where R is alkyl from C10 to C14, "p" is an integer from 3 to 18,and the cation is hydrogen, alkali metal, or ammonium. The preferred surfactant is sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate as it is commercially available and has been found to be effective.
The remainder of the composition is water. The mixture can be prepared by adding the components in any order, but it is preferable to add the surfactant last, as it is typically a solid and that facilitates mixing.
The composition can be packaged in a spray can, a pump can, or other type of container. The composition can be used to remove grease, oil, or other types of soil from hard surfaces. The composition is applied to the surface by spraying, dipping, wiping, or other means and is then removed from the surface by wiping, spraying, dipping, or other means. The composition is useful in cleaning brakes and other automobile parts, walls, flooring, and other hard surfaces. The composition can also be usedto remove paint from a surface by applying the composition to the paint, permitting the composition to at least begin to attack the paint, and thenwiping, rubbing, scraping, or otherwise removing the paint from the surface. Usually, only about 15 minutes are required before the composition begins to attack the paint. The composition may also be usefulas a carrier for paints, pesticides (e.g., herbicides, fungicides, insecticides) and inks. About 0.1 to about 10 wt % paint or pesticide can be added to the composition (used on total composition weight) for these uses. The following examples further illustrate this invention.
EXAMPLE 1
Compositions were prepared from various proportions of PCBTF, water, EB, MMB, IPA, and SDBS. The number of phases of each composition was observed and the results were used to draw the miscibility diagrams of FIGS. 1 to 9. In FIGS. 1 to 9 the shaded areas are the proportions that are miscible.The following table gives the composition tested.

FIGS. 1, 3, and 4 show that methanol was effective in increasing the range of miscibility but that SDBS was not and that 40% methanol was more effective than 20% methanol. FIGS. 2 and 6 show that SDBS did not increasethe miscibility of the FIG. 5 composition, and that 40% IPA (FIG. 7) has a wider range of miscibility than does 20% IPA (FIG. 5). FIGS. 8 and 9 show that MMB and IPA are about as effective as EB (FIG. 1).
EXAMPLE 2
A composition was prepared of 16 wt % PCBTF, 20 wt % IPA, 36 wt % B, and 28wt % water (Composition A). A vial was filled with this composition and a linoleum panel was immersed into the composition at room temperature for one hour. The panel was removed, rinsed with distilled water, and dried for one hour. Examination of the panel showed no signs of softening, swelling, cracking, bleaching, or discoloration.
A No. 2 EP grease (NLGI Grade 2, Jet Lube Marine Use) was applied to linoleum floor panels. the grease was immediately wiped off using cotton balls wetted with the composition and the panels were wiped with cotton balls wetted with distilled water. Three times the panels were greased andcleaned. The 60-degree gloss of the panels were measured using a gloss meter before and after each cleaning. The tests were repeated a total of three times. The average results were:

This experiment showed that while cleaning the vinyl surface, the composition did not reduce the glossiness of the panels.
Two coats of paint were applied to a wood panel approximately 3 inches by 3/4 inches by 1/16 inch. The first coat was a white enamel and the second coat was a white latex semi-gloss. A drying time of over 24 hours was allowed between coats and a minimum of 24 hours was allowed after the application of the final coat before testing. The panel was placed into the composition at a depth of about 2 inches for about 30 minutes. The topcoat of paint was easily wiped off and the undercoat was stripped by repeatedly rubbing with cottonballs wetted with the test composition.
The paint was also applied to stainless steel panels about 3 inches by 1/2 inch by 1/16 inch. The stainless steel panels were placed in three different compositions: Composition A from Example 2, Composition B, a composition of 5 wt % PCBTF, 50 wt % IPA, and 45 wt % water, and Composition C, a composition of 5 wt % PCBTF, 55 wt % EB, and 40 wt % water. The paint on panels immersed in Composition A was easily scraped off. The top coat of paint on the panel immersed in Compositions B and C became sticky when scraped. This experiment showed that the composition was more effective as a paint stripper if both IPA and EB were present.
EXAMPLE 3
A Composition D was prepared of 15.8 wt % PCBTF, 19.8 wt % IPA 35.6 wt % EB, 27.7 wt % water, and 0.9 wt % SDBS. As in Example 2, a linoleum panel was placed in the composition for over 18 hours, removed, rinsed with distilled water, and dried for one hour. There were no signs of softening,swelling, cracking, bleaching, or discoloration of the panel. The composition could therefore be applied to vinyl flooring without damage tothe flooring.
Two 4.5 inch by 4.5 inch vinyl floor test panels were coated with each of the following lubricants and greases:

Following ASTM Test D1792-82, the coated panels were stored in an oven at atemperature of 37 ±1° C. for at least 48 hours to accelerate the aging of the grease soils. Panels 1A, 2A, and 3A were wiped twice with drycotton balls. Dark stains remained on panel 3A. While no stain was left on panels 1A and 2A, a greasy residue remained on both panels. Panels 1B, 2B,and 3B were wiped twice with cotton balls wetted with Composition D and neither grease residue nor stain was detected on these panels.
As in Example 2, a No. 2 EP grease (NLGI Grade 2 Jet Lube Marine Use) was applied to linoleum floor panels. The grease was immediately wiped off using cottonballs wetted with Composition D followed by wiping with cottonballs wetted with distilled water. Three consecutive applications and cleanings were made on each panel. A 60-degree gloss test of the panelwas made using a gloss meter before the applications and after each cleaning. The tests were repeated a total of three times and the average results were:

This test shows that Composition D did not damage the glossiness of the panels.
As in Example 2, stainless steel panels were prepared by applying a white enamel undercoat and either a white enamel semi-gloss topcoat or a white latex semi-gloss topcoat. The panels were placed in the following liquids:(1) Composition D; (2) PCBTF; (3) EB; (4) IPA; and (5) water. For the panels having the white enamel topcoat the paint was easily scraped off the surface after about 29 minutes in immersion in Composition D. After about 50 minutes of immersion in PCBTF and EB a slight wrinkling on the paint along the panel edges was noticed. No degradation of the paint was found in the panels immersed in IPA and water for about an hour. For the panels coated with a semi-gloss topcoat the topcoat was readily removed and the undercoat could be scrubbed off after about 27 minutes of immersion in Composition D and in PCBTF. The top latex coat became sticky in EB. The panels immersed in IPA and water showed no degradation to the painted surface.
EXAMPLE 4
A clear single phase solution was formed by blending 16 wt % DCBTF, 20 wt %IPA, 36 wt % EB, and 28 wt % water. The resultant liquid mixture was stablefor an extended period of time.
EXAMPLE 5
A composition was prepared of 16 wt % PCBTF, 36 wt % EB, and 28 wt % water.That composition had a single phase. However, when 20 wt % 1-butanol or 20 wt % isobutanol was added to the mixture two phases formed, a large organic upper phase and a smaller aqueous lower phase.
EXAMPLE 6
Compositions were prepared that contained IPA, PCBTF, water and EB. A manually air pressurized spray bottle was used to create a fine mist sprayof the prepared solutions. Flammability of the system was evaluated using the flame projection test described in ASTM test method D 3065-72. In thistest, the bottle is placed six inches from a lit candle and the spray is directed through the upper 1/3 of the flame. A substance is considered to be non-flammable according to the test if it has a flame projection less than 18" without flashback to the nozzle. The following is a list of tested compositions and their flammability ranking.
